3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Connecting to a Laptop/PC via USB-C

For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (Thunderbolt 3/4/5 or DisplayPort Alt Mode support), a single USB-C to USB-C cable can transmit both video and power.

  1. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to the monitor's USB-C port.
  2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to your laptop's full-featured USB-C port.

  2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output.
  3. Connect the provided 30W power adapter to the monitor's USB-C power input port and to a power outlet.
